In this Video Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll , was the sixth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and their fourth daughter. She was born in Buckingham Palace on 18th March 1848.
From an early age, Princess Louise was artistically talented, and Queen Victoria allowed her to go to art school under the tutelage of the sculptor Mary Thornycroft. The princess later attended the National Art Training School and became one of the first members of the royal family to practise as an artist. She went on to create a statue of her mother.
The statue, made of marble on a Portland stone base, showed Queen Victoria in her coronation robes. It was erected in the gardens of Kensington Palace to commemorate the Golden Jubilee, and on 28 June 1893, Queen Victoria unveiled the statue herself.
